Original Title:
Inmunoglobulinas equinas fragmentos (Fab’)2 (suero equino hiperinmune) en COVID-19
Authors' recommendations:
Low-quality evidence, mainly because it comes from a single clinical trial with not enough statistical power to detect differences in primary outcome, did not show that treatment with equine immunoglobulin F(ab’)2 fragments (hyperimmune equine serum) is better than placebo regarding clinical response at 28 days or mortality reduction. The study was conducted in COVID-19 hospitalized patients with moderate-severe disease who did not require mechanical ventilation. Benefits were observed in some of the study secondary outcomes, in clinical response at 7 and 14 days; there was also a trend to reduced mortality in the subgroup of patients with severe disease.
